However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.
  • Web Beacons. Pages of the Website and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

We may also use third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), advertising partners (such as Meta, for Facebook and Instagram ads, and Google), and email newsletter providers. These providers may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to our Website, your interactions with our advertisements, and whether you open or click our emails.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business. For example, contact form submissions are delivered to our business email account, and consultation bookings are stored by our scheduling provider and added to our calendar.

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

  • Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

    Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Because there is not yet a uniform standard for how websites should respond to these signals, our Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. Third parties that provide features or services on our Website, such as our scheduling provider, Google, and any analytics, advertising, or email newsletter providers we use, may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit our Website, and they may not respond to Do Not Track signals. You can use the browser cookie settings described above to limit some of this tracking.
  • Promotional Offers from the Company. If you do not wish to have your contact information used by the Company to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt-out by emailing us at ali@beachcitieseducationaltherapy.com. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may send us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions. This opt out does not apply to information provided to the Company as a result of your use of our services or other transactions.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information

You may send us an email at ali@beachcitieseducationaltherapy.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Information Collected in the Solicitation or Provision of Services

We may collect information (including personal information) from you throughout the course of any educational therapy, parent coaching, or college essay and application support services that we provide. Those services, including the nature of communications between you and us during those services, are governed by the applicable Educational Therapy Agreement and/or Parent Coaching Agreement or any other document executed relating to them. Generally, the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to respect your right to privacy with respect to information provided during the provision or solicitation of those services.

Your California Privacy Rights

California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to ali@beachcitieseducationaltherapy.com.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website or during the course of our services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any of our privacy settings or security measures, including those contained on the Website.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by updating this Privacy Policy. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page, which is also the date that this Privacy Policy takes effect and controls over any previous privacy (only to the extent such may conflict). You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
